Discipline is a huge part of the military; do you apply that to your family life? Do you treat your children and wife the same as to what you’ve learned? To the guys, do you men think uniform is power and do you find yourself exercising that power in your home?

Don’t get me wrong, my hat off to all those in the Military, Police and Fire services. I just wondered how much influence derives from discipline of this kind and it could be a negative or positive thing.

I never have..I think it's disrespectful to treat your family like that.

Thanks Jason!

I have seen the ugly side of this happen to family members and friends....is it the uniform that makes people forget

i don't think so....my children's father is military and CID...he has seen some unthinkable things and has never brought the army life home....although the discipline has made him a good soldier and a good man...i think it is on a individual basis....some people just cannot deal with the mental stress the military life can bring upon them....i have known many great people and some very sad people

Military experience or a uniform have nothing to do with the ability to teach discipline in the proper manner. Have seen discipline misused in all walks of life.

I learned and saw many things in my time in the army.
Discipline is always neccessary. but there is a difference between military discipline and family discipline.
As long as you are able to differentiate between the two, then that is a good thing.

My bro was in the reserves in his younger years for 3 years, and in that time his attitude and mentality was shocking. He was not the bro I love though the mental discipline was great for a soldier. He was going to enlist for the regular army but decided it was not the life he wanted for his young family. He loved the discipline, the training, education,... from this but pursued a different career path.

An ex neighbour feared her abusive military partner...treated her like and children badly. Heaps more stories like this... I am not saying all are like this, I am just asking do the uniform serviceman her eon the site bring that home.

dicipline does not stop at military, fire, police or any of those other services. it applies to every day life. the stock person in the local market the cashier janitor or groundskeeper the person on the streetsweeper each need a certain amount of dicipline to properly do the job they have.

I agree widowerseeking, I am just questioning this group...

It is like saying all black people are abusers, nah, just asking in this area
